Brentus,

I was not able to tolerate Dexedrine due to two side effects besides the tendency to cause hypomania and insomnia. They are:
- the need to constantly swallow saliva. get especially bad at night, interfering with falling asleep
- loss of fine motor precision; I would literally type gibberish, missing the keys. And I am normally a very precise typist who rarely makes typos.

So Dexedrine is not for me. I will be trying alternatives soon. Thanks for posting about Adderall shortage.
